Auditions
MTV Roadies Revolution Auditions were held at Delhi on 5 January, Chandigarh on 7 January, Kolkata on 11 January 2020, and Pune on 15 January 2020. In an interview with Zoom Digital, Neha Dhupia said, "This season of Roadies is called Roadies Revolution. It is 2020 and I feel we all should raise our voices for things that are absolutely right and if the youth is not ready to raise their voice then who is? As per our last experiences, I feel that youth is ready to raise their voice. As a leading youth channel, I can promise that we will try our level best to start a revolution, to start a little spark if nothing else".[5] Ranvijay Singha, when asked in Kolkata press conference, "It's wonderful to have you back in Calcutta for the 'Roadies' auditions after three years. Why the gap in between, considering you had told us earlier that you have got some of your best contestants over various editions from this part of the country?", said, "I don't take Roadies for granted. The contestant who wants to be a Roadie will come from America.
The contestants had to get a least of 3 votes from the leaders and Rannvijay had a special power to cast 2 votes.

Controversy
Neha Dhupia came under heat for some comments she made during the audition of Karan Kapoor in Pune. During the audition Kapoor shared an anecdote with the judges about slapping his girlfriend who was being disloyal to him by being with five other men at the time of being in a monogamous relationship with him. Dhupia confronted Kapoor aggressively by saying it's her choice justifying cheating.[6][7] Dhupia, along side Chinappa and Narula, had on a previous season of Roadies commended a girl who slapped four boys during her relationships with them. As the episode aired in India the audiences took to Twitter to express disdain for Dhupia's actions. #FakeFeminism was trending in India for several days with viewers terming Dhupia "fake feminist" and accusing her of being sexist towards men.[8] The incident received widespread backlash and a slurry of abuses and memes poured in over the internet for Dhupia.[9][10] The matter was picked up by major news outlets which emphasized that Dhupia was blaming the victim while promoting promiscuity in the name of "women empowerment".[11][12][13][14][15] Dhupia released a statement standing by her actions while condemning domestic violence in relationships.[16][17]
